Perfect! Not just once, but Twice!
I have been to Africa 5 times and have had some really good safaris and some really bad ones. I've used Kenya_Tanzania Safaris the last 2 times and have had prefect experiences both times. Susan is amazing to work with in planning and Niko and the other guides are absolutely the very best! They listen carefully to what you would like to see and experience and make sure it happens for you. I was a bit nervous to go back this last time because the one before was so perfect. I didn't think I could experience perfect twice. But I did.

We had an amazing time - Everything was exceptional - We even prolonged by a day!
From the moment we landed up until departure, we didn't have to think about anything! Everything was very well organized, the guides Mishalo and Mark we very nice, we saw a bunch of animals, the places we stayed at were marveleous, the communication with Margaret was very responsive and attentive.
The only thing I would change in the package would be the Safari blue day out in Zanzibar which felt very "touristy". I would recommend swapping for a day out snorkeling with the Padi dive center next to the Tembo hotel.
Other than that it was perfect, I would warmly recommend Uhuru.

Crystal Safaris Ltd. is an incredibly generous hospitable beautiful place to stay & experience!
Crystal Safaris is a lovely place to stay as you plan your adventures into the Bwindi jungle in search of mountain gorillas. The accommodations are very clean, food was very good and service impeccable! Barbara was very thoughtful and thorough helping with our trip plans & accommodations! She is amazing!
Joseph was our driver and guide for the week as we trekked mountain gorillas, safaried in Queen Elizabeth's National Park & went on the chimpanzee hike. Joseph has vast experience as a Tour guide - we nicked named him "Magic Man" as we often experienced many fun surprises as we were on safari. The tree climbing lions were no where to be found, yet Joseph was relentless until we found them! He knows every short cut to get to his destination as well! Such an adventure! Joseph also was an incredible advocate for me talking to our trekking guide & porter. I had previously had esophageal surgery and was concerned about the hike. Joseph made sure we were well taken care of. It is evident Joseph cares about you as his client, he is genuine & an authentic. My porter Jeffrey was a jewel as well! We certainly will be coming back to Uganda and Crystal Safaris will be our first choice

Once in a lifetime ***** - Experience
Once in a lifetime ***** - Experience. Our self-drive tour with Tailor Made Safari’s (TMS) was from the beginning to the end an amazing experience. Due to our daughter’s internship at the Bethesda hospital at Mkuze we decided to plan a 23-day tour through South Africa. She was going to join us for 7-9 days. We e-mailed our expectations (of activities, accommodation, the vehicle) to TMS and got a quick response with a proposal for our tour. We used Skype and the e-mail to communicate (even a last-minute change was no problem); the booking process was personal and was tailormade to suit our requirements!
Our tour brought us to Durban, Krantz Kloof, the Drakensberg Mountains (Royal Natal National Park), Piet Retief, Swaziland (Mlilwane Wildlife Sanctuary) Ubombo, Mkuze Game Reserve, Tembe Elephant Park, Kosi Bay, Ponta d'Ouro (Mozambique), Zululand Rhino Reserve, St. Lucia, and back to Durban again. All Highlights, with the beautiful scenery at the Drakensberg as our favourite. Our stay at the Tembe Safari Lodge and the Rhino River Lodge was superb. We really enjoyed the horseback riding, canoe and boat tours, cultural tour, elephant interaction, snorkeling, and our swim with the dolphins was amazing. We had various game drives and they were always exciting: We were all wondering which animals we would get to see again (and tick off our list!).
Thanks to the entire TMS team for this once in a lifetime ***** - Experience,
Lieze, Shana & Dries, Monique & Erik.

Top Cream Tours and Safaris made our dream safari a reality.
We contacted more than ten tour operators asking for a proposal for a custom safari program and Top Cream was the first and only company to respond to us with an itinerary that perfectly matched what we requested. Erastus was very helpful and responsive from start to finish, working with us to remain within our budget and ensure that our trip went smoothly. He even checked in after to be sure we returned safely. During the safaris, our guide, David, was extremely knowledgeable and accommodating. He knew exactly where to go to find the most amazing encounters and went the extra mile to seek the animals he knew we liked. Our expectations were met and exceeded.

Amazing safari day in Arusha National Park
I simply had a great day !
The service is very complete. The guide came pick me up at my hotel in Usa River around 8am, and we entered the park around 9am. I got to see a lot of wild animals (girafes, baboons, zebras, buffalos,...) during the day, from far away and from up close. My guide even improvised a walk with a professional ranger in the park, so we got to approach animals such as warthogs, while still respecting the bush and the animals's way of life.
The employees really know the bush and the wild life, so they are able to explain lots of things (in English and in French please !).
I highly recommend this tour, if you seek an intimate yet beautiful experience with rather accessible fees.

7 days Masai Mara, Nakuru, Naivasah, Amboseli 5 star experience
Africa Flash Mc is very professional and provided an unforgettable trip for us 4. I have exchanged many emails with Peter before the deposit was paid and all his advice are proved to the point. We enjoyed excellent service during our trip. Our car was a land cruiser and it was in very new condition.The guide is Edward, who is experienced and patient. My mother wanted to take pictures of the sunrise and sunset, and he took us to the right place and arranged the time appropriately. He also arranged our meals and rest well on the long way. Edward cleaned the car every day and make sure we have enough water. In the masai mara we found 4 of the African big five, but unfortunately we didn't see leopard.We have a wonderful memory and we are really grateful to Peter and Edward. I strongly recommend this company to everyone who wants to go a safari. By the way, I think their logo is quite cool. They have logos on the receipt, the mineral water labels and even on car cushions.

Peronalized, Professional, Exceeded Expectations
As we followed the guidelines to inquire with at least three companies, Godson Adventures promptly replied with an itinerary that met our needs and budget. At each point we worked with different members of the company, we encountered a professional yet personal touch. Airport transfers, even at the wee hours of the morning were provided and ensured we arrived to our hotel or airport. Faraj was our driver with 10 year experience as a guide and it showed. From day 1 we were "wow-ed" by all the nature Tanzania offered and that Faraj ensured we witnessed. He provided insightful information and answered questions we had along the way; he was a joy to work with. We added an extra stop on our itinerary without issue. We enjoyed two nights lodging in a beautiful setting and two nights in tents (which really is glamping). I heard a warthog and a lion but felt safe and slept well. I am so glad we mixed our accommodations and followed the recommendations. No worries about food. No tummy issues. One of the two of us is a fairly picky eater and found plenty of tasty food offered at every meal. While many guides and companies exist, we felt Godson, Faraj, and team provided a personalized holiday that really allowed us to fall in love with Tanzania and its people as they really take good care of each other too!

Great safari experience!
We have booked 4 days safari with Uhuru Travel and had a great time. They sent a car to pick us up from the airport to the hotel (no extra charge).
I had a very good communication on Whatsapp with Abdallah. The car we went to safari was very clean and in good condition. The driver, Mamerti, although not so good in English, is very skilled in looking for animals. The cooker, Antonio, made very, very good vegetarian dishes, on our request.
There was some problems at entrances and exits (we had to wait between 2-4 hours each time) due to unpaid fees, Uhuru manage to solve them as fast as possible.
Next day after the safari ended, Abdallah provided us with the transfer to the airport (no extra charge!!!).
All in all, we had a great experience! I highly recommend Uhuru!
